Day 122 - Sunday
So today I had plans to go to the nature reserve and see what could be seen but the weather had other plans and it rained, and rained, and rained, and....yep rained some more.
So instead I stayed at my dad's and we played scrabble and cards.
That's pretty much it.
I then drove home and the weather was grim so it took me just over 2hr15mins to get home.
I got home and Harmony had thrown up over my bed!
However, the positive is my mum and sis had stripped my bed and cleaned up the sick - YAY - I'm so not good with sick!
Day 123 - Monday
Bank Holiday Monday - yay an extra day off work whoop whoop. Today I have done....nothing
Literally
NOTHING
I have entered some comps but thats it
And I have to admit it's been nice to just veg out
So today's positive is having a day to just chill with no demands on my time, no rushing around for the kitty rescue, no picking or dropping off from freecycle, no housework and no work!

+ 365 Days 120 & 121
Day 120 - Friday
Woke up today feeling pretty groggy but not as bad as I have been earlier this week so I decided I would still take the trip to West Wales.
I planned to leave early but realised we ran out of cat food - the kitties were not too impressed with their breakfast of 1/4 tin of sardines and 1/2 a pouch of pedigree chum! (Jac the dog wasn't happy at me giving away his food either)
So I did a quick run to ALDI's as I know their food is supposed to be okay and I figured I'd try them on it. I got them 2 12 packs of the super cheap food (£1.79 a pack) and 2 12 packs of the slightly more expensive food (£1.99 a pack). so 44 pouches for under £8 which is pretty good.
When I got home I opened the cheapy ones and gave them a pouch to share and they wolfed it down! Success prior to this the only food they would eat was felix pouches which was getting really expensive.
After that I loaded up the car (literally - my dad's caravan is super modern with double glazing and central heating but he refuses to put it on! so I have to take thick fleecy joggers and jumpers to keep warm, my double sleeping bag for the night, crocs to wear around, a fleecy blanket etc) I headed out - traffic around port talbot / swansea was the usual chaos but apart from that it was a nice quiet run.
Didnt do anything really once I arrived - we had dinner, watched some TV, went to the club for an hour, watched more TV and then crashed out.
Today's positive was the easy smooth run to West Wales. Feeling grotty and having a 2 hour drive isnt fun but having little traffic, clear roads, not getting stuck behind a tractor! made it a bit easier.
Day 121 - Saturday
Today I drove us to Aberystwyth for the Farmers Market - the weather was awful and there was this big sporting event going on so the market was dead. I was really disappointed - I wanted a boar burger but the guy who normally does them wasn't here :(
We had a wander around the shops and I bought myself a new pair of slipper booties in a charity shop for £1.50 I love them - super bright! I did threaten to wear them out tomorrow but my dad said he would disown me if I did LOL
Took my dad to do a big shop at Lidls, B&M and Morrisons as he doesn't drive ( he's a biker and has a motorbike but he cant carry much on there)
Then we came back and chilled for a bit.
Tonight I have been using up all of his hotspot wi-fi allowance to get online and enter some comps whilst watching crappy TV :)
So today's positive is my funky new slippers :)

SUNDAY FAMILY FUNDAY
Today we checked out of the Premier Inn bright and early and set off to the St George's Day Festivities in Wrest Park. Due to road works and the fact I haven't updated my satnav in like 3 years it took us around 40 minutes to get there (should have been 25).
When we arrived they were getting people to park about a mile away from the park but disabled badge holders could park literally at the entrance so we were waved through and got a spot about 5 meters from the entrance to the park.
We were waved through all the queues and had our names checked on a list were given a map and schedule and then went through to the park.
It was HUGE and filled with lots of really cool and fun things to do as well as shows.
First off was the falconry show where we saw different birds of prey swooping after lures and learned a bit about their history and how they fly and work.
We followed this up with a walk over to see some Jesters :) Their act included juggling batons over people's heads, laying on a bed of nails and then having audience members stand on them and finished with a patio slab and a sledgehammer-ouch. They were pretty funny too cracking lots of silly jokes and acting out.
Next it was time for a snack - this was one of the downfalls of the day for us - the food options were all really expensive and there was limited drink options too. I got a coffee a lemonade and a 'sausage baguette' (thats in quotation marks because I dont think a single sausage on 1/3 of a baguette constitutes a sausage baguette!!!) this cost like £8.50!!!! We also got 2 diet cokes from the bar which came in teeny plastic cups and cost £1 each!
Whilst we were eating there was this guy in a robe with a woman and a chinese style dragon where people could go in and be part of the dragon and then they went off dancing around all the tables and over to another roped off area where some kids were training to be soldiers. They then got to try and defeat the dragon which was pretty cool.
We headed down to look at some of the stalls following this and bought a few items - some of the stalls were really reasonable priced and others not so much but we bought a few things and lost mum - she wandered off!
Lizzie fancied painting her own shield to give as a gift to her boyfriend Andee and as it wasn't too expensive (£6 for shield and all the paint you could use) we sat down and painted it. I helped her with it and when it was finished painted Andee's name on it for her and then we left it to dry off.
We headed over to watch a jousting match following this (after finding mum - she text me to say she was sat on a bench by some white tents - nearly all the re-enactors tents were white DOH)
After the jousting we wandered over to see some roman soldiers and armour and bits. We were going to have a go at striking a roman coin (£1 a go and you get to keep the coin) but then this trumpet sounded and all the roman soldiers got up ready to do a parade march - we missed their parade but did get to have our photos taken with some of them.
We then wandered around the re-enactors tents and met this guy who was an expert on old fashioned medicine - he had loads of tools and stuff and explained how they all worked - Lizzie wasn't impressed when he said he could help with her sore throat by strapping a live frog to her neck - LOL got a frog in your throat anyone?
We were all starting to get a bit cold then and Lizzie's legs were hurting as we had walked around a lot - we headed over to look at some more stall and I got us some victorian ginger bread squares - delicious!
We decided that we would head up and look at some of the house and gardens then for a bit. The house was lovely with lots of interesting information about the family who owned it and the different uses it had been put to during the war and stuff. The gardens were really beautiful and full of flowers.
By 4 pm we were all tired and I knew I had a long drive back so we headed out - stopping on the way out to get our photo taken with a large statue of St George :)
We had a fantastic day at Wrest park and I am really grateful to Premier Inn who provided our hotel and tickets as part of a prize :D
The drive back home wasn't quite as bad as the drive there although I did get stuck behind a bridge on the motorway for a few miles (yes an actual bridge on the back of a truck which took over 2 whole lanes). We stopped for food in the services and just grabbed a burger king meal and some cold drinks.
We got back to Cardiff around 8ish and dropped Lizzie off - then collected Jac (who had apparently behaved himself for once!) and came home to 4 cats who tried to make out they hadnt eaten for a year ( my uncle had fed them meat at 12 pm, refilled their water bowls with fresh water, given them biscuits and treats!!!)
We were pretty tired when we finally got home so didnt do much just crashed out.
Today's positive was we had a fantastic time at Wrest Park and are definitely considering looking at staying down that way again as there seems to be a lot to do and see there :)

+ 365 Day 114
Day 114 - Saturday
So I recently won an overnight stay at Premier Inn in Milton Keynes plus a family ticket to go to the St George's Day Festival at Wrest Park.
Me, my mum and my niece were all super excited to go but we didn't leave until quite late as Lizzie had tickets to go and see the rugby (Cardiff lost :( )
Whilst she was watching the rugby me and mum went for lunch at out fave indian, sorted out the animals and packed up snacks and drinks in the car.
We dropped Jac after to my aunty Kath, fed the cats super early and filled several large bowls with water and biscuits (and my uncle was going to be checking on them on Sunday so it was like 10 hours they were left for!) and then set off around 4.30ish
Now the furthest and longest I have driven for is only 2 and a bit hours down to my dads - scheduling in a break I reckoned we could do Milton Keynes in around 3 1/2 hours.
30 minutes into the drive my niece needed a wee, 30 minutes later my mum needed a wee, 45 minutes later my niece needed to go again, then we hit the road works - narrow lanes and 50 mph down to 30 mph, then more needs to stop and wee, then the M1 the ring road from HELL!!!
We finally rocked up at the hotel at 8pm so right on my target although if we hadnt stopped about 6 times I reckon I could have done it in 2 1/2 hours.
Anyways paid for parking and went to reception to be told sorry I cant find you on the system. Erm What?!?!?! okay let's try my dodgy FB id - nope still not on the system - at this point I developed a slight heart tremor - showed my phone with the FB message saying I had won - tried the reservation number nope still not showing. Receptionist knows NOTHING about our booking. She calls the manager who also doesn't know.
Panicking I check out the t/c's of the comp and notice the hotel is by a lake with a different name - I nonchalantly ask um this is the premier inn willen lake right? I dont suppose there is another premier inn nearby at something called furzton lakes?
They called the other premier inn and yeah I had brought us to the wrong one!!! Apparently Milton Keynes has like 4 premier inns 3 of which are next to lakes!!!Really should have read the small print properly instead of just scanning it oopsie.
Another 15 minute drive later and we arrived at the right premier inn. As Lizzie is disabled and we had the blue badge I rocked straight into the disabled parking bay which was good as it was now chucking it down.
Checked in and went to our room which was actually really nice
(read my tripadvisor report here)
The beds were super comfy and literally as soon as we hit the pillow we were asleep :)
Today's positive a super nights sleep

Still have ear ache and its progressed up towards the ear entry - deffo another infection but I have a GP appt on 7th to look at the lump and they can check out my poorly ears then
Everyone was in a foul mood in work today - lot of stressed and grumpy people but I got through loads so am happy with that.
Today's positive is another comp related one - got an e-mail to say I had won 2 tickets to go see the Sound Of Music - this used to be my all time fave film as a kid - literally we went through like 5 videos of it cos I watched it so much the tape warped - I am word perfect on the film even now. EEEE I'm excited to go see it - hoping to get tickets to the Bristol Hippodrome as the Cardiff showing has passed already.

+ 365 Days 108, 109, 110 & 111
I'm behind on the blog this week - I have absolutely no good reason other than I am really tired at the moment - I'm up for work at 630am - I get home around 4.30pm check my emails etc then go for a nap around 5pm then sleep til around 9pm back up for a couple of hours and in bed usually by midnight/1am - this is not a sustainable routine eek
Day 108 - Sunday
I took my sister and niece home - when we got there she had a letter from Cardiff confirming she has an appointment / interview for social housing and another massive form to fill in (well for me to fill in my sis isnt very good with writing and forms)
Thats good though - we are getting somewhere slowly
So that's todays positive - short really but we didnt do anything else
Day 109 - Monday
Work - enough said
Weighed in at work and despite eating nothing but rubbish and not doing one iota of exercise my weight has remained the same - woohoo
Today was a good comp day for me - I won:
Crabtree & Evelyn Hand cream for my mum
Webbox dog treats for Jac
A signed movie poster for me
A family ticket to go to the St Georges Day festival this weekend plus over night stay at premier inn :) for me my mum and my niece
That's pretty awesome right?
Today's positive is remaining the same weight in view of how awful I have been diet wise!
Day 110 - Tuesday
Got my annual leave signed off yay - taking the friday's before the bank holidays off so I have a mega long weekend - 4 day weeks suit me fine :D
Today was also the most magical day of the month - PAYDAY!!!
Today's positive planned time off - its lovely to have something to look forward too each month - I'm planning a visit to west wales to see my dad over one of the long weekends and sleeping for the other :D
Day 111 - Wednesday
Humpday - sliding down towards the weekend now
Today started terribly - I once again managed to not close the door properly in the car - this morning got up to a dead battery. Had to get the bus to work which meant I had to go to the shop to get change to get the bus and I was late for work ack
I also had to get the bus home which sucked. I am a bus snob I hate the fact on the bus you end up sitting by people you would normally avoid - smelly people, dirty people, people who are just shit bat crazy! I was wedged in by an extra large smelly person who as well as a delightful stench of body odour also stank of stale cigarette smoke - it was a delightful journey
However I got home and my sisters partner (my other sister not the one moving) had been round and jump started the car and it's fine now
Today's positive is having my car I love it - I love the freedom and I love not having to rely on other people or public transport for lifts.

Today's positive planned time off - its lovely to have something to look forward too each month - I'm planning a visit to west wales to see my dad over one of the long weekends and sleeping for the other :D
Day 111 - Wednesday
Humpday - sliding down towards the weekend now
Today started terribly - I once again managed to not close the door properly in the car - this morning got up to a dead battery. Had to get the bus to work which meant I had to go to the shop to get change to get the bus and I was late for work ack
I also had to get the bus home which sucked. I am a bus snob I hate the fact on the bus you end up sitting by people you would normally avoid - smelly people, dirty people, people who are just shit bat crazy! I was wedged in by an extra large smelly person who as well as a delightful stench of body odour also stank of stale cigarette smoke - it was a delightful journey
However I got home and my sisters partner (my other sister not the one moving) had been round and jump started the car and it's fine now
Today's positive is having my car I love it - I love the freedom and I love not having to rely on other people or public transport for lifts.
